Man Comes Home to Stranger Who Had Been Living in House for 3 Days

When Seattle resident Davis Wahlman arrived at his home on the night of July 18, he noticed a couple of lights on inside that should have been off.

“I don’t immediately freak out, but I’m like, ‘This is not ordinary,’” he told KOMO, which incidentally was where he was employed.

Instead of making an issue out of this, however, he chose to let it go and continued inside, where he then discovered another oddity: A screen from the bathroom window was lying inside the tub. Yet Wahlman again chose to just dismiss it and continue with his day.

But everything changed the following morning when he was awakened by noises from above.

“I am kind of jolted out of bed,” he said. “I hear rummaging around above me, which I know is the attic, so I’m like ‘That’s kind of weird.’”

He promptly rushed out of bed and began to investigate, at which point he noticed a third and final anomaly: There was a light on inside his office. This shocking oddity he was not about to dismiss.

Wahlman reportedly then tried to enter the office, but the door had been locked. Without any other options available to him, he simply knocked on it. There was no reply at first, but as he began to dial 911, a chilling reply finally came.

“Jimmy?” some woman replied. “Is that you, Jimmy?”

“I’m like, ‘No, it’s not Jimmy. Who is this and why are you in my house?’” Wahlman recalled. “And she just keeps kind of going, ‘This is my house. I live here. I’ve been here for three days. Jimmy said I could live here, Jimmy said I could stay here.’”

But who in the world was Jimmy?

Wahlman never had a chance to find out, as the woman fled his home long before the authorities arrived — a fact that did not sit well with him.

“I love the police officers and I’m really happy they did show up, but as I’m telling someone on dispatch that there’s someone in my house, ‘Hey, please bring help,’ and it took 18 minutes — that’s a little disappointing,” he later complained about the ordeal, as reported by the U.K. Daily Mail.

Fair enough, though to answer the question likely on his mind, Jimmy was probably nothing but a figment of that poor woman’s disturbed imagination.
